I am travelling to Japan from Australia with a friend. I was just wondering what the most economical way to get around would be, whether to buy a rail pass or just purchase standard rail tickets, and if I buy rail passes, whether to get 7 day or 14 day ones.
Our itinerary is as follows:
Monday 18 Nov: Arrive Tokyo (staying in Tokyo for 8 nights)
Tuesday 26 Nov: Travel by train to Osaka (staying in Osaka for 5 nights)
Sunday 1 Dec: Travel by train to Kyoto (staying in Kyoto for 4 nights)
Thursday 5 Dec: Travel by train back to Tokyo (staying in Tokyo for 2 nights)
Saturday 7 Dec: Leave Tokyo to return to Australia
While staying in Tokyo we will mostly be using the Keio/Inokashira Line, Fukutoshin Line as well as the Odakyu Line.
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thanks.
